Project description
This is a collection of standalone widgets for use in
your website. Each individual widget is independent
of the others.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dependencies:
Each widget has it's own requirements and dependencies.
Most inherit from dijit base-classes such as dijit._Widget,
dijit._Templated, etc ... So we will assume the availablility
of dojo (core), and dijit packages.
Each individual component stores resources in a folder that shares
a name with the Widget. For instance:
the Dialog lives in
dojox/widget/Dialog.js ...
and the folder:
dojox/widget/Dialog/ contains a 'Dialog.css', the required
styles for that particular widget. All required templates and
images reside in the folder.
This differs slightly from the rest of DojoX in that each other
project uses a shared resources/ folder in the project folder,
though uses the same naming convention for stylesheets and templates.
eg:
dojox/layout/resources/ExpandoPane.css
dojox.layout.ExpandoPane
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Documentation
Please refer to the API-tool, or in-line documentation. All of these
widgets are of varying use, quality, and documentation completion.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation instructions
These are standalone Widgets, so putting the [widget].js file
in your dojox/widget folder, and copying any files in the
/dojox/widget/[widget]/ folder as supplements/templates/etc
should be all you need to do.
eg: FisheyeList:
/dojox/widget/FisheyeList.js
/dojox/widget/FisheyeList/FisheyeList.css
should be all you need to use the Fisheye widget.
you can safely import the whole widget project into your
dojox/ root directory from the following SVN url:
http://svn.dojotoolkit.org/src/dojox/trunk/widget
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other Notes (Brief widget list):
* ColorPicker - An HSV ColorPicker intended to be a drop down
* Calendar - An extension on the dijit._Calendar providing a different UI
* CalendarFx - additional mixable FX for transitions in dojox.widget.Calendar
* Dialog - An extended version of dijit.Dialog with man options and transition.
* DialogSimple - A simple Dijit Dialog providing `dojox.layout.ContentPane` integration
* FilePicker - a widget for browsing server-side file systems (can use
dojox.data.FileStore as backend store)
* FisheyeList - the classic FishEye Picker (abandoned)
* FisheyeLite - A partial replacement for the FisheyeList - serious performance
gains, and entirely more extensible in that it simply animates defined
properties, relying on the natural styling as a foundation.
* Iterator - Basic array and data store iterator class
* Loader - an experimental Class that listens to XHR
connections in the background, and displays
a loading indicator. Loader will be removed in 1.3, and is (abandoned).
* PlaceholderMenuItem - a menu item that can be used to inject other menu
items at a given location. Extends dijit.Menu directly.
* Roller - A component to show many lines of text in a single area, rotating
through the options available. Also provides RollerSlide, an extension
to the stock fading roller to add a slide animation to the transition.
* RollingList - A component of the FilePicker widget
* SortList - a degradable UL with a fixed header, scrolling,
and sorting. Can be the direct descendant of a
LayoutContainer and will size to fit.
* TitleGroup - A container offering variable height TitlePane access, though
behaves like an AccordionContainer
* Toaster - a messaging system to display unobtrusive
alerts on screen.
* Wizard - a StackContainer with built-in navigation to
ease in the creation of 'step-based' content.
Requires dojo >= 1.1
* AnalogGauge - an analog style customizable gauge for displaying values in an
animated fashion and with multiple indicators. Supports easings for
indicator animations, transparent overlays, etc. Very flexible.
Requires dojo >= 1.3
* BarGauge - a bar style gauge for displaying values in an animated fashion
and with multiple indicators. Supports easings for indicator animations,
etc. Very flexible.
Requires dojo >= 1.3
* Standby - a 'blocker' style widget to overlay a translucent div + image over a DOM node/widget
to indicate busy. Overlay color, image, and alt text can all be customized.
Requires dojo >= 1.3
* UpgradeBar - Displays the "yellow bar" at the top of a page to indicate the user
needs to upgrade their browser or a plugin
Requires dojo >= 1.3
